~iN or OuT, wHiCh? ~

Once the old people said that you should place an open pair of scissors on the bedside table to snip off the end of the dream.

The question comes to my head towards the bright light outside of my door,
'is it so bad to live the dream?'
To some, the question would be 'is it possible to live the dream?'
Either comes from the jealous mind or just the empty one, no one can really reply me.

Will i be regretting later on when i look at that scissor again in the morning... or for the rest of my life.
I'm not known.
To stick to the dream too long and not be able to live in the real world, is it so bad?
Is it so grand to be able to live in the real world and cut of your dream then? I wonder.

For fear of myself to put that scissor next to my bedside, can you do that for me?
Can u just hand me that and tell me i won't be regret later on? Can u?
For me who needs to adapt to live in the real world again or risk of going mad (in the eyes of others)

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

My dear aliens start to mention or count down the departure from this land of smile.
I used to be so afraid and scare of the moment.
Still, i am the surviver through these years. Some tough and some not so.
I am still standing here.
Still...
So as what i have been told 'Well, that's life honey. If you stick with the sad, u will just leave the good time to pass by just in front of you'

Then the senses come to me (and by not being drunk and need to fill in the jigsaw on the next days) makes me feel much better, more appreciate, many joys, countless laugh and great times.

So thank you P' P' & Nong Nong: P'Pui, Jay, N'Ta, Post, P'Noui, N'Chin,
Thank you Aliens: AwE, IjaiS, SidreH, AnnaoJ, ThihcuS, UmiS, TihcrA, SirhC, InilahS

Hope you do enjoy the night as much i do.

ps. for the facebooker to see the album u need to click 'Original Post' to enjoy it. ;-)

Last birthday I gave one girl a year of education. Education makes the better life, i believe.
As I also do believe so much of what goes round, does come around.
This birthday, i found myself the new way of living for also the better life.

I went for the meditation.
Yes, Me went for the meditation.
As many people who love me always say that I should.
Finally i have done it.
Not only one but twice in the same month. (My month of April)

I am the Buddhist by birth.
I do respect and act on what I have been told or taught.
Without knowing why, i just follow the others.
More and more of that have created the ignorance and neglect in me.
I just do as i should but not as i want or feel like.

Next comes what i have found.
There I found the new way of living.
There I vowed for the practices in daily life
"5 Mindfulness Trainings" - to protect our freedom and make life beautiful.
It acts as the guidelines for our daily lives, they are the basis of happiness for individuals, couples, families and society.

The First Training: Aware of the suffering caused by the destruction of life, I vow to cultivate compassion and learn ways to protect the lives of people, animals, plants and minerals. I am determined not to kill, not to let others kill, and not to condone any act of killing in the world, in my thinking and in my way of life.

The Second Training: Aware of the suffering caused by exploitation, social injustice, stealing and oppression, I vow to cultivate loving kindness and learn ways to work for the well-being of people, animals, plants and minerals. I vow to practice generosity by sharing my time, energy, and material resources with those in real need. I am determined not to steal and not to possess anything that should belong to others. I will respect the property of others, but I will prevent others from profiting from human suffering or the suffering of other species on earth.

The Third Training: Aware of the suffering caused by sexual misconduct, I vow to cultivate responsibility and learn ways to protect the safety and integrity of individuals, couples, families and society. I am determined not to engage in sexual relations without love and a long-term commitment. To preserve the happiness of myself and others, I am determined to respect my commitments and the commitments of others. I will do everything in my power to protect children from sexual abuse and to prevent couples and families from being broken by sexual misconduct.

The Fourth Training: Aware of the suffering caused by unmindful speech and the inability to listen to others, I vow to cultivate loving speech and deep listening in order to bring joy and happiness to others and relieve others of suffering. Knowing that words can create happiness or suffering, I vow to learn to speak truthfully, with words that inspire self-confidence, joy and hope. I am determined not to spread news that I do not know to be certain and not to criticize or condemn things of which I am not sure. I will refrain from uttering words that can cause division or discord; or words that can cause the family or the community to break. I will make all efforts to reconcile and resolve all conflicts, however small.

The Fifth Training: Aware of the suffering caused by unmindful consumption, I vow to cultivate good health, both physical and mental, for myself, my family, and my society by practicing mindful eating, drinking and consuming. I vow to ingest only items that preserve peace, well being, and joy in my body, in my consciousness, and in the collective body and consciousness of my family and society. I am determined not to use alcohol or any other intoxicant or to ingest foods or other items that contain toxins, such as certain TV programs, magazines, books, films and conversations. I am aware that to damage my body and my consciousness with these poisons is to betray my ancestors, my parents, my society and future generations. I will work to transform violence, fear, anger and confusion in myself and in society by practicing a diet for myself and for society. I understand that a proper diet is crucial for self transformation and the transformation of society.

She: 'These are for Lunch. There is another one in the fridge for dinner. Dont' forget that'
Me: 'ah, okay'
She: 'I think, this can be it for your dad'
Me: 'ah, okay'
She: 'For your sis & her family, these for dinner should be enough and for breakfast u just look around then'
Me: 'ah, okay'

This is the first time in many years that my mom is on the trip of her own with her relatives from China to go out of BKK.
Mostly, there are some cousins of mine or me with her.
This time only her and her relatives.
Those are the conversation repeatedly before she is off on the bus.
That is her, my mom.
The best of the best ever!

.. There was the TV series to celebrate our 'Mother day/Queen's birthday' some years ago, calls 'Only to be as half as my mom'
in Thai 'Muern (like) Mae (Mother) Piang (just) Kleng (half) Koh (as) Peng-Jai (satisfy)'
That's for me to her.

My mommy is the BEST!

"Friendship is the gold of life"
---
Mr. Edwin is in Town for the first time!!
I still don't believe it!
He was the whole year in Malaysia. Never stepped into this land of mine.
Now he is leaving Singapore.
So it just hit to his mind that he has not been here.
Yet, so near but so far.

Big fun. Big laugh.
Kind of bringing back the good old times.
His sense of humor is never fading out. Not even a bit.
Showed him around BKK.
Looked in the old photoes in IPM and so on.
Still wearing the same t-shirt as in Estonia. Can u imagine that?
That is my good old friend, Mr. Edwin.

--
On one particular note:
Venue: At the shop of my house.
WJ: Dad, this is my friend, Edwin from Indonesia
Dad: oh, Sawasdee Sawasdee
Edwin: Hi (walking toward him and firmly shaking hands with my dad. Then continue with my dad's friend and my cousin. Firmly hand shake)
WJ: ...(can't stop laughing)
WJ: ....... (still laughing)

---
Note: For the Thai culture, we dont' do handshake, we do Wai. (especially to the adult)


Always good to have friend in town.
Good to catch up with Shook Yee here as well.
Really good fun time.

So, Are you next?

~Dear amaZing ApRiL of miNe~

I'm Happy.
I just would like to share, to tell and to let you all know that I am Happy.
It's not the big laugh or great fun.
Just the smile on my face and in my heart.
How do i say or explain to you then?
The laugh of Gut when he was sleeping, i smile.
The green light on the way I drove today, i smile.
The 4 tasks that i can just checked off the to-do-list today, i smile.
The sharing of cream custard snack with my sis, i smile.
The block of myself with the small space between the car and the pole, i smile (also Suchith)
The thought of giving food, ice-cream and laugh to the orphanages with Jay and my dad, i smile.
The listen of my favorite band on the way home, i smile.

More and more of each day life that i appreciate.
Sometime i do afraid of dying of the happiness in me.
Of course, it's not 24-7. Not even for me.
I do have the worries. No worries, dear. I am still looking and searching for several things that i should have been doing and getting but have not yet done. I know. I am aware of those.
Just now, at this very moment. I am proud and happy for my better life.
For those that i have not updated what happened to my life in April, I would like to post it here then.
I went for the meditation retreat.
Yes, Weaw went to not just once but twice in the same month, April.
And now with the new way of living style. I'm Happy. I smile.

- Plum Village -

Mindfulness is the energy of being aware and awake to the present moment.
It is the continuous practice of touching life deeply in every moment of daily life.
To be mindful is to be truly alive, present and at one with those around you and with what you are doing.
We bring our body and mind into harmony while we wash the dishes, drive the car or take our morning shower.

Just easy and simple likes that.
Practicing in every moment in life.
Slow things down.
Appreciate things more.

I am happy.
I am breathing, I am alive.
